A Big City
... s got to do it.
While trying to find the street with the stars we stopped on Sunset Blvd , wanting a drink we went to Mel’s Diner. It was a real American Diner and had been the setting for film American Graffiti. Jasper and Elliott enjoyed choosing music on the individual juke boxes in their booth.
